SURE-CROP STRINGLESS 
WAX BEAN 
A valuable variety of Dwarf Wax Bean, which, while not related 
to the well-known Currie’s Rust-proof Wax, bears a great resem- 
blance to it in plant, pod and bean. The plant grows to a medium 
size, and having a strong, thick stem, stands up well even during a 
long season of stormy weather, thus protecting the pods from dirt and 
dampness. It is very productive, bearing large, handsome golden- 
yellow pods in great abundance, and being hardy, the seed may be 
planted early. <‘‘ Sure-crop’’ is more rust-proof and will stand a 
longer season of damp, wet weather than any other wax bean we 
know of. Pkt., 10 cts., by mail. By express or freight, at pur- 
chaser’s expense, lb., 50 cts.; 2 lbs., 90 cts. (if wanted by Parcel 
Post add as stated on page 12); 10 Ibs., $4.00. 
KEENEYW’S STRINGLESS 
REFUGEE BEAN 
The originator of this strain of Green-pod Refugee worked for more: 
than twenty years to get the string out of the old Thousand-to-one 
Refugee Bean. The plant grows to a large size and is enormously pro- 
ductive, one plant having borne 56 well-developed pods and 16 small 
ones, and had the earlier pods been picked as soon as suitable for use 
this plant would doubtless have produced over 100 good pods. The 
shape of pod is round, size medium to long, slightly curved, medium 
green in color and very brittle, remaining so until nearly old enough 
to shell. Pkt., 10 cts., by mail. By express or freight, at pur- 
chaser’s expense, lb., 45 cts.; 2 Ibs., 80 cts. (if wanted by Parcel 
Post add as stated on page 12); 10 Ibs., $3.50. 
CHINESE, or CELERY CABBAGE 
Also called Pe-Tsai, and Cut Cabbage, by Chinese gardeners and 
is beginning to attract attention in America, It does not form a 
cabbage head, but when grown to its full size resembles the Cos Let- 
tuce, and the outer leaves may be used during its growth. It is odor- © 
less while being cooked, and the flavor is delicious, being very mild, 
and it is excellent for use as a salad, or cooked like asparagus. Weare 
quite sure that it will please all who partake of it. Sow seed after 
July 1st, and give plenty of room to the plants, setting in rows 3 feet 
apart and 2 feet apart in the row. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 65 cts.; $ lb., 
$2.00. 
SMALL EXTRA EARLY 
JERSEY WAKEFIELD CABBAGE 
This variety of Jersey Wakefield Cabbage is excellent for 
growing in the home garden as it matures earlier than the or- 
dinary strain, and produces a firm, solid head, smaller size, but 
of same conical shape as the original type. It can be grown in 
all sections as it is very hardy, and although the heads are small, 
the quality is fully equal to the well-known ‘‘ Jersey Wake- 
field.’” There are many occasions when the larger heading va- 
rieties of cabbage cannot be used without some waste, and in 
these days of needful conservation of food this small-headed va- 
riety will be found very useful for that purpose. Pkt., 15 
cts.; oz., $1.00; ¢ lb., $3.50. 
DAVIS’ PERFECT CUCUMBER 
For a number of years this variety was controlled by the 
originator, who is one of the leading market gardeners in the 
West, and after whom the variety is named. Mr. Davis states 
that he experimented several years in trying to get an improved 
strain of Cucumber for forcing under glass and outside culture, 
and has finally fixed a ‘‘ Perfect’’ type, combining quality, 
shape, color and productiveness. The Cucumbers grow long 
and slim, sometimes measuring 12 inches in length; the color is 
a rich, dark, glossy green, which they hold until nearly ripe. It 
is very tender, brittle and of fine flavor, Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 
20 cts.; + lb., 60 cts.; lb., $2.00.
